Incidental Finding of a Rare Urachal Pathology: Urachal Mucinous Cystic Tumour of Low Malignant Potential

Urachal mucinous cystic tumours are rare pathological findings with only 23 previously reported cases in the literature. We present the case of a 54-year-old man with an incidentally found urachal mucinous cystic tumour laparoscopically excised. With its known potential to cause pseudomyxoma peritonei, complete surgical excision is important. Long-term cystoscopic and radiological surveillance is also required

Age-Related properties of the tumor vasculature in renal cell carcinoma

Little is known about the impact of vascular ageing on the angiogenic features of clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a disease in which antiangiogenic therapy currently has a well established role. It is also rather surprising that this question has not been raised in a disease context where patients’ age may differ by several decades. We provide the first glimpse in to the related vasclar changes, including morphology and some of the molecular features.[...
